how many time does one hear the hurtful words of denial of a relationship over many years, how little they mean to another, how they are an embarrassment to them, how ugly they are to look at; before the heart can hold no more hurt? How long? How many times?
I think this has nothing to do with standing on conviction and knowledge of how much you may love someone, or care for them. Rather I think this simply has to do with the knowledge that forgiveness is always possible, but the ugly, hurtful words can never, ever be taken back once they are spoken……

Sometimes stepping out of the relationship is utterly necessary…and sometimes leaving the relationship is necessary too.

I have a bit of different perspective these days. Hearing those words again, seeing her hurt, the swath of destruction…..
I am glad it’s not me but equally sad it continues and is now her pain….
Interesting to see him as an emotional sadist who doesn’t realize it, and her as an emotional masochist…..

That doesn’t seem very nourishing or peaceful. It sounds stressful. How are you going to manage living with all that I wonder…
